IIRC plastic recycling is basically bullshit (except maybe PET bottles?) but aluminum is actually effective. Makes you wonder why we don’t use more aluminum packaging in general.
Any recycling you can’t get money back for is either a scam or just not being done. Most city recycling programs just ship the trash to some other country, for instance.

Yeah, I’m going to update my comment. Metal recycling is genuinely good, and recycling makes an enormous impact on the production of new metal

Even the aluminum containers are coated with plastic (soda cans, for example)
